オランダは日本やドイツなど同じく鉄道密度の高い国である。ヨーロッパの代表的空港の一つに数えられるスキポール
空港からアムステルダム中心及び近郊へのアクセスは非常に良く、頻繁に電車や列車が運行されている。空港から
アムステルダム中央駅への所要時間はノンストップで15分と短く、二駅停車する電車に乗っても20分足らずで到着する。
ただ15番線から発着する場合はエスカレーターもエレベータもなく、重い荷物を抱えている場合は大変である。
中央駅出入口には改札口のある部分とない部分とがある。オランダの多くの駅では改札口は単に切符を刻印する役割を
果たしていると思われる。
数多くの国際列車もアムステルダムを中心に伸びている。高速列車が運行されパリ北駅とアムステルダム間を4時間
あまりで結ぶ。ドイツ鉄道のインターシティはベルリン間には一日、6便がある、6時間30分で到着する。国際間の
列車運行は想像以上に頻繁である。現在、ベルギーの首都、ブリュッセルからスキポール空港までの高速鉄道を建設
中で近く開業する。
スキポール空港（アムステルダム国際空港）オランダ最大の空港で、出発客と到着客とが同じラウンジと搭乗ゲート
を供用している。搭乗前に必ず行われるセキュリテイチェックは搭乗ゲートにて行われている。
2008年1月、「アムステルダム・スキポール空港ターミナルビル内、レストラン、カフェ、航空会社ラウンジを含む、
全ての場所で全面禁煙となった」と伝えられていたが、この報道は正確ではなかったようだ。今回の検証旅行で明らか
になったことは、空港3階喫茶店の奥に喫煙ブースが設置されていたことだ。2階のパスポートコントロールから
ここを見上げると、もうもうたるタバコの紫煙がガラス越に見えていた。喫茶店は空港施設ではなく、この喫煙室は
喫茶店の中に設けられた「分離した喫煙室」と解釈すべきなのか？
